Clickbait

Clickbait has become increasingly popular over the last few years.

Today news organizations are more concerned about getting good clickbait material then they are with finding actually knowledgable news. Although, the power of having good clickbait material is that you're going to gain more traffic coming to your website, opposed to not having good clickbait material.

With clickbait enticing us into reading something, it often leads to mixed reactions. Clickbait creates reactions it's what it's meant to do. People tend to get mixed emotions when they come upon clickbait. While some clickbait is humorous other forms of clickbait aren't anywhere near that category. Certain people will take offence while others will shrug it off. However, those who take offence will usually contact an organization or post about it on social media thus, giving a news outlet some bad reviews.

Usually with something that is click-baited only a few things or sometimes one thing in the article relates with what the clickbait was actually stating in the headline.

With click-baiting becoming as big as it is now, people are overly using it which makes it no longer unique like it once was, which is making for it to be an over used tactic in today technology based world.
